Understanding what HD i/o cards and converters are really for

Hi,
Just getting into the HD realm, I need some type of basic understanding of what 3rd party HD i/o and HD converters are use for. Sorry for the ignorance, but after viewing discussions and going to vendor websites such as Kona, BlackMagic, I am still a bit confused.
I have begun capturing DVCPRO HD from the HVX200 into my G% and external G-Tech Raid Hard Drive. I've been able to edit. I want to view my work on an a 3rd monitor, a 42" Panasonic 1080p HDTV.
Do I need an i/o card in order to just view on an external monitor or do I need a converter? I am not caputing HD since FCP can capture DVCPro HD natively. (I hope I am saying that correctly), so, with that being said, I am guessing that I just need a converter. Is that correct?
Again, sorry for being so ignorant about this, but all the discussions that I've seen are a bit over my head and I am trying to catch up.
Thanks,
G

HD cards are for capturing HD video, viewing HD video on HD monitors or downconverted to NTSC monitors, and for outputting to non-firewire HD formats, or to downconvert to SD upon output, or cross convert to another HD format (720p to 1080i) or upconvert SD to HD (depending on the card you have).
So yes, if you want to monitor your HD footage on an HD monitor, you'll need an HD card. With DVCPRO HD, you have the option of routing thru a DVCPRO HD deck, but those run $25,000...so a $995 card is the cheaper option.
Since you capture HD via firewire or direct import and have no need to capture HD, then you can look at the Matrox MXO as an option. It is output only, and the great thing is that it turns your Apple 23" cinema display into a color accurate HD monitor. Or...as I see you want to connect it to your panasonic monitor, you can go HD Component out to that monitor as well. Won't be color accurate, but it will be DARN close. The MXO is the perfect solution for laptops...as it connects via DVI. And it outputs HD to decks, downconverts to SD...all sorts fo good stuff.
For the same price you can get a Decklink Extreme and have the POSSIBILITY to capture other formats if that need ever arose. And it too has component out that you can connect to your HD monitor.

  • What is a SiM card and do I need one in order to send email from my iPad?

    What is a SIM card and do I need one in order to be able to send email from my iPad?

    For further detail, a SIM card is a very small, thin, printed circuit card which you insert into a tiny drawer in your mobile device. It is your mobile/cellular account, with your personal details on it. So you can move it from one device to another. Before smartphones (like the iPhone), SIM cards also contained your Contact list. Since smartphones contain so much information now, the SIM card just identifies you to the cellular/mobile network. It means you can carry your phone number with you from one phone to another.
    You can get a SIM card for iPad from any Apple Store or phone shop. Note that the newer iPhones and the iPads use what's called a "micro-SIM", which is smaller than a regular SIM card, so it takes up less room inside the phone, and they can stick more hardware in there for better performance. Make sure you ask for a "micro-SIM for iPad".
    As Rudegar says, you don't need a SIM in your iPad if you always have WiFi access. But if you need to send email or messages outside a WiFi network, then you need a SIM, so you can access the cellular/mobile phone tower network.
    You can get prepaid SIM cards which give you so much data for a certain period of time. You need to decide how much data you need, and how often you want to "recharge" it. The salespeople should be able to help you work that out.

    Thanks for the question Sandoss. This is something that we all come across at sometime.

    The lack of this feature is an inexcusable oversight for an enterprise management product.  They have some serious lightweights making design decisions on the SCOM team. 5 thumbs down. 
    BTW the answer is probably LOTS of stuff. Literally 100's of workflows are running on any server. 
    The following OpsMgr DB query will list all running monitors on a server. Change the name of @srv. I think this works pretty well.  I'd like some feedback if something is missing.
    DECLARE @srv varchar(30)
    SET @srv = 'your name here'
    SELECT mon.displayName as monitor, bme.FullName,bme.DisplayName as object,
    case
        when s.HealthState = 1 then 'healthy'
        when s.HealthState = 2 then 'Warning'
        when s.HealthState = 3 then 'Critical'
        else 'N/A'
    end as Health
    FROM state AS s WITH (NOLOCK)
    left join BaseManagedEntity as bme WITH (NOLOCK) on s.basemanagedentityid = bme.basemanagedentityid
    left join dbo.MonitorView Mon WITH (NOLOCK) on Mon.ID = s.monitorid
    where
    bme.FullName like '%' + @srv + '%'
    and s.HealthState <> 0
    and mon.IsInternalRollupMonitor = 0
    and mon.IsExternalRollupMonitor = 0
    order by bme.DisplayName, mon.displayName

  • What ideal Win Server and Hardware are recommended for 11g DBs

    What best Win Server and Hardware are recommended for 11g DBs?
    - Processor
    - Memory
    - Storage
    - Network
    - Etc...
    Following is the scenario:
    - The server will be for development and test DBs
    - More than one databases will be installed each for each project
    - Maximum 4 databases will be accessed each time
    - Maximum DB size for each DB will be in couple of GBs.

    Which version of 11g ? For 11gR2, see the requirements here - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e16773/reqs.htm#i1011417
    Any server that exceeds these requirement will suffice. Obviously the more the number of processors, the faster the processors, the more the RAM, the more the disk etc etc, the better.

  • Firstly I updated my ipad into ios7 and after watching the video by Apple, iWork, pages and numbers are free for download after updating iOS 7. How can I download iWork pages and number for free?

    Firstly I updated my ipad into ios7 and after watching the video by Apple, iWork, pages and numbers are free for download after updating iOS 7. How can I download iWork pages and number for free? Please help me.

    stevejobsfan is correct; iwork for ios is free only for new purchases of new ios devices. A good work around (if you have wifi connectivity) is going to the icloud website on your ipad, and working on your document.
    A word of caution (the real reason I am responding to your post). If you do a lot of 'formatting' of a document on iwork for mac, and then save it in icloud; you will probably loose most of the formatting you have done (this will be true if you oppen the document in iwork for ios; also) It happened to me, and I did not duplicate the document before saving it to icloud; I lost at least an hours worth of work.
